ISPs, like all corporations, always have the best interests of their customers as heart. In the unlikely event that an ISP abuses their position another ISP startup will immediately spring up and start a brand new network.
- glitcher 9y agoYes, exactly. And now I am simply flooded with so many choices in ISPs that I hardly know which one to try next.
- maskedinvader 9y agothis and parent comment is both sarcasm right ?
- L_Rahman 9y agoI think you can safely assume that's the case :)

- dboreham 9y agoThis reminds me of the idea of the "irony flag" that I recall discussing with my fellow-immigrants when I arrived in the US years ago, to make its presence clear. But now, thanks to globalization, irony can be easily found in America, along with Marmite and Sam Smith's.
- ComradeTaco 9y agoI apologize for the sarcasm Dboreham, I usually try to make arguments in better faith. The anti-consumerism is just so obscene that I feel like a bit of absurdity is necessary.
- intended 9y agoRidicule and a good memmory are whats needed here. Because this is farce. The ideal communication now would be spot on recall of previous bad behavior, interleaved with humor/abusrdity. The current FCC's communication expects a certain context, and meta cultural structure. If those features are removed (corporate speak, governance speak), and the response are couched in absurdity+accurate facts, then they dont have much. They're claim to authority is undermined and the legitimacy of the action is removed. This is about the way the facts are communicated, as it is about the facts themselves.
- bartread 9y agoIrony was always easy to find in America; the difference is that now Americans can see it too. BOOM! </cheapshot>
- Spooky23 9y agoSurely now with our newfound freedom the robust market conditions brought by Mr. Pai will usher in a new era, where the invisible hand will do its thing.

- quadrangle 9y agoWell, that makes the gross assumption that customers don't like the abuse. Just because you think some abuse is wrong doesn't mean you should dictate what happens in a consensual agreement between the abuser and the abusee. If they don't like the abuse, they'd leave. /s
